[The EEG during the hemiplegic migraine attack of children].
Following the exemplification of the clinical symptoms the EEG findings of 10 attacks of hemiplegic migraine in 6 children are reported on. Characteristically most of these are severe unilateral or focal disturbances. Five times these appeared as delta-activity, two times as theta-delta-activity, and in one case as theta-activity or alpha-reduction. Only once, a diffuse slowing of the background-activity over both hemispheres could be shown. With one exception in addition to the foci simultaneous diffuse changes were recorded in all children, (four times slight, twice slight to moderate and three times moderate to severe). A predominance of one hemisphere was not recognizable. The foci were not localized to one particular region of the brain. Most of the changes had subsided after a few days. In one case a slight focal voltage depression was apparent even after three month of a year.
